The Ordination

"Now that we're done, let's head to the Village to begin the festival," the Village Chief announced with a smile.

"We'll be taking our leave then, Chief. We'll bring our gifts to visit after the festival ends," High King Kael responded.

High King Kael and High Queen Celeria bowed respectfully to the Village Chief and the others before flying away toward the Garden.

"I'll be taking my leave as well. I'll make sure to deliver my gift in person after the festival," Queen Selene said, nodding at the Village Chief and the others before rising into the air and flying back toward the third border city.

The festival was part of the Village culture, not hers, so Queen Selene saw no reason to force herself to attend. However, many of their own festivals have been cancelled due to the current situation. She needed to ensure they would begin celebrating their traditions again in the future.
